And Creatures Come to Life

Made with charcoal from my grandmothers fireplace and rocks/dirt found from within my homeplace. Created with Willie Ermine's concept of mamatowisowin, creating within the inner space, this is the beginning of healing.

“The notions of my homeplace, family, and my family’s heritage with a core concept of “all my relations” are the driving forces in my work. Through the use of natural materials such as rocks and soil from my homeplace I am rediscovering and strengthening my connections to ancestors and land. ”
